Hello.

Thanks to Herbert Poetzl's help, the chbind segmentation fault problem was
fixed.

But I'm still in troubles running old FC1 guest images inside the new
linux-vserver.

Kernel: 2.6.31.12-vs2.3.0.36.28
VS-API: 0x00020305
util-vserver: 0.30.216-pre2882

On three different hosts:
- same kernel release version on A, B, and C server;
- same util-vserver release version on A, B, and C server;
- different hosts linux distribution (FC6 on A, Debian on B, FC12 on C);
- different CPUs (Xeon on A, AMD-64 on B, Xeon on C).

A) FC1 guest runs: On a Xeon FC6 host: "vserver oldFC1guest start" runs fine
B) FC1 guest doesn't run: On a AMD-64 Debian host: "vserver oldFC1guest
start": "An error occured while executing the vserver startup sequence"
C) FC1 guest doesn't run: On another Xeon host, FC12: "vserver oldFC1guest
start": "An error occured while executing the vserver startup sequence"

Please, consider:
- already added "exit 0" to the /etc/rc file in the guest
- already manually typed "40000" in the /etc/vservers/oldFC1guest/context
file in the host machine
- ./testme.sh script doesn't report any problems

Please, consider more:
- new tried debian guest images run fine on the AMD-64 debian based host
machine (but not on the FC based xeons);
- a new FC12 guest image seems to run on the Xeon FC12 based host machine,
so I think vservers are running fine, the problem is just in migrating
that guests from old kernels/legacy-vsevers to the new ones.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

Regards
